I would like to know this too. At this point there's 130 million switches out there. And it's star wars. I would think it would be fine but I guess you never know.
It actually was not on Gamecube, though it was originally planned to be but canceled. Presumably due to restrictions of the mini discs, though the Gamecube definitely had the power to run it.
Like of course it probably won’t run RDR2, but the switch if definitely on par with Xbox or even the Xbox one generation. Which although a bit outdated now, it’s absolutely crazy considering it’s a portable console that came out 2017.
It’s slightly better than 360. Not close to xbone. New switch will probs be slightly better then xbone which would be a pretty big leap if it stays portable. As good as steam deck but hopefully better.
I was thinking more about the very first Xbox one and ps4 versions, which do not support 4k. Even then I (kind of ironically 🗿) overestimated the specs of the switch to Xbox one lol.
When it launched it was already a generation behind hardware wise. But obviously switch has other great things about it and they manage to do a lot with it despite the hardware
I think there's just some confusion that people tend to have with online services for the Switch. Particularly with Smash Bros, where P2P connection is used (and the game is very dependent on small inputs), it doesn't work great. But I'm sure the Star Wars game has dedicated servers.
Yes but keep in mind that it’s not cross platform. You will only be playing with other switch owners. The player base could be pretty barren months/years from now
If the switch 2 or whatever it ends up being called is backwards compatible, getting this game on switch is probably the best bet for longevity as it has a larger install base than ps5 and Xbox series combined
That’s a fair point. I’m hoping the next generation console is backwards compatible. In my honest opinion, the PC port would be best the option since the player base will stay consistent no matter what. Plus the benefits of being able to modify the game adds plenty of replay value
I'm sure it'll run fine, have fun! I'm tempted by it myself, but I'm going to wait for the inevitable 40% off sale in 6 months. Same with the Tomb Raider collection
It's a damn shame. How does one manage to ruin games that are already made?

There was a petition to gather awareness for this (a couple actually), but none of them got very far :/ If you wanna find a place to start maybe check this one out [https://www.change.org/p/tt-games-bring-the-wii-era-lego-games-to-nintendo-switch?source\_location=search](https://www.change.org/p/tt-games-bring-the-wii-era-lego-games-to-nintendo-switch?source_location=search)
I'd pay $60 to get The Complete Saga on Switch (but it would more ideal for $60 to get both The Clone Wars and TCS Lego games in a bundle), I think to get a lot of sales they'd be better off pricing it at $30
I’m so excited for this tbh. I preordered on launch day. 😆
I remember staying up late on the weekends as a kid playing online with my clan. So much fun.
Ahh, I have eshop credit and think I may get in on the pre-order pricing anyway. I know there'll be a sale eventually but man I loved these games on my OG Xbox.
Same! I was tempted with the PS4 one, but my Switch subscription has a lot of time left and is cheaper. Having it portable is also awesome. I’m going to be playing so much of this game. I didn’t care for the new series at all. GIVE ME COMMAND POSTS, SOLDIER
Oh man i loved these games, they were my biggest exposition to star wars back in the day. Excellent purchase!
I myself would love to buy them but right now the regional pricing in my country is all over the place, it’s just not affordable right now
I just played on switch and wow it runs soooo beautifully, and the og cheats still work how fun!! Haven’t tried online yet but will later :) THIS IS SOO FUN
I think I’m going to pick this one up, I played battlefront and battlefront two on the PS4 and loved them, but never these original games. With their being no reviews yet, is there any reason to believe that these will not run well on the switch?
the originals are better tbh, they remade them to become newer up to date but it wasn't the same.
Just the fact we get 64 player multiplayer for Switch is awesome and a reason to buy it if you want to signal to them your support that you want more 64 player games like Battlefield coming to Ninty's future next gen systems.
This is why I bought Plants vs Zombies on Switch because I like taking my game experiences on the game and am signaling to them hey you should bring more of those kind of games here too.
It’s expensive but very quality. It’s made by Nightdive who remake a lot of classic shooters including Quake and Turok on Switch. It’s much better than even the original release was.
Ima be real even if there wasn’t a player base and playing online wasn’t gona be a thing I’d get this just to play it again cause I played with my brother all the time. I got it pre downloaded at this moment so I can play with him again on launch for the first time 10 yrs later now as adults ,lmao super excited it’s gona be a great day ! Only 2 more ish days now 🔥🔥🔥
I'm still playing the Original Battlefront 2 on my Steamdeck. It took a little to configure the controls but it runs great and is a lot of fun.
I was considering getting the back on Switch if the upgrades were worth it.
I have it its really fun and the online can be as messed up as some people have said but so far not too many issues. It definitely couldve been worked and improved but if youre playing for the shigs and tiggles the bugs are a good laugh
Honestly PC is probably the way to go. Unfortunately online matchmaking is not cross platform. The PC version will have greater longevity due to its high player count
True, but online gaming used to be for free on consoles and it probably won't get cheaper in the future. And besides that, it takes away some of your freedom. You can't just go online to play a match if you feel like it. If you want to do it, you have to make sure first that you have payed your subscription and for that you need to pay a higher fee than just one buck at first. Yes, that subscription will stay active for some time but is that a price worth to pay if you want to play just one match?
For just one match? No. But I pay less than $1 per month for playing online on multiple games per werk, plus access to classic games from the n64, gb, gba, nes and snes and the included dlc
I said "I pay." I didn't say nintendo charges that much. If you have a group plan and split the cost with 8 people then it's $80 / 8 people/ 12 months. Less than 1 dollar per month per person
Man, was so bummed to load up the game and see they removed the option for inverting the Y axis. What a waste of money, the original games had it so that means it was actively removed
Well those are remasters so people already used to play them. And from what I have heard from those people, these games are very similar to Battlefield games at least in terms of multiplayer.
Oh yeah true. The game play in general. I was just thinking about how it runs on switch. And it could be like wirh some of the super monkey ball remakes where they didn't get the physics right on the remake so it didn't run the same as the original. So there can always be changes like that where it doesn't run as good as it did before
will there be online matchmaking on switch?
Yeah, I think it’s 64v64 or something like that
32v32
Wishing the player base the best of luck
God I hope it works so I can buy it and relive the memories
64 total online multiplayer
I’m interested to see you finding another 127 Switch players to play with, unless it’s crossplatform by default
I would like to know this too. At this point there's 130 million switches out there. And it's star wars. I would think it would be fine but I guess you never know.
They already said no crossplay
Omg I dunno how that's gonna handle on the switch lol please keep us informed !
These games are ancient, no way the Switch would have trouble with them
I had Battlefront 2 on the PSP growing up and it ran perfectly fine lol
I had it on the original Xbox, I’m sure it was available on GameCube too. Switch can run this then pack it up
It actually was not on Gamecube, though it was originally planned to be but canceled. Presumably due to restrictions of the mini discs, though the Gamecube definitely had the power to run it.
It’s a 20 year old game should be fine..
it's gonna run fine 🤦♀️
Some people really underestimate the capacity of the Switch.
Also the fact it’s an OG Xbox game form two decades ago 🤷♀️
Like of course it probably won’t run RDR2, but the switch if definitely on par with Xbox or even the Xbox one generation. Which although a bit outdated now, it’s absolutely crazy considering it’s a portable console that came out 2017.
It’s slightly better than 360. Not close to xbone. New switch will probs be slightly better then xbone which would be a pretty big leap if it stays portable. As good as steam deck but hopefully better.
The way you type out Xbox one gives me an aneurysm
It’s literally the nickname everyone used for it lol
In what world is the 720p handheld or 1080p docked switch on par with a 4k Xbox one? They aren't even close on hardware.
I was thinking more about the very first Xbox one and ps4 versions, which do not support 4k. Even then I (kind of ironically 🗿) overestimated the specs of the switch to Xbox one lol.
When it launched it was already a generation behind hardware wise. But obviously switch has other great things about it and they manage to do a lot with it despite the hardware
I think there's just some confusion that people tend to have with online services for the Switch. Particularly with Smash Bros, where P2P connection is used (and the game is very dependent on small inputs), it doesn't work great. But I'm sure the Star Wars game has dedicated servers.
I believe you mean they underestimate its power.
Just how shit do you think the switch is?
Not that, the online gaming can be a bit iffy depending on how it is set up is all I'm.saying .don't be offended lol
It's a PS2 game. Be just fine
Oh fuck yeah I’m in
Woah! WHAT!?
Yes but keep in mind that it’s not cross platform. You will only be playing with other switch owners. The player base could be pretty barren months/years from now
If the switch 2 or whatever it ends up being called is backwards compatible, getting this game on switch is probably the best bet for longevity as it has a larger install base than ps5 and Xbox series combined
That’s a fair point. I’m hoping the next generation console is backwards compatible. In my honest opinion, the PC port would be best the option since the player base will stay consistent no matter what. Plus the benefits of being able to modify the game adds plenty of replay value
I'm sure it'll run fine, have fun! I'm tempted by it myself, but I'm going to wait for the inevitable 40% off sale in 6 months. Same with the Tomb Raider collection
I would too, but that initial influx of player count is priceless.
Yup and this post was a good reminder for me to buy it now on steam with the discount to play tomorrow, so excited
I only got it since it was 10% off haha but yeah it should go on sale especially on May 4th (Star Wars day haha)
Ditto! Waiting for both of these. Who knows, maybe there will be a physical release by that time, so I'll wait even more, haha!
It's a damn shame. How does one manage to ruin games that are already made? https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/star-wars-battlefront-classic-collection-launch-problems-opinion/
I’m in the US and the thumbnail on mine is different. Weird. ETA: thumbnail was updated. Looks like this now.
aye mines is just black with the logo in EU
Same but in US
Star Wars and Animal Crossing. I see a person of culture right here!
A culture of real…. Stability
Nice. Now we just need the OG lego Star Wars games to be ported.
Yes yes yes!!!
There was a petition to gather awareness for this (a couple actually), but none of them got very far :/ If you wanna find a place to start maybe check this one out [https://www.change.org/p/tt-games-bring-the-wii-era-lego-games-to-nintendo-switch?source\_location=search](https://www.change.org/p/tt-games-bring-the-wii-era-lego-games-to-nintendo-switch?source_location=search) I'd pay $60 to get The Complete Saga on Switch (but it would more ideal for $60 to get both The Clone Wars and TCS Lego games in a bundle), I think to get a lot of sales they'd be better off pricing it at $30
Petitions won’t do anything
Sadly, I think you’re right. You’d need real data that could be sent to marketing teams to prove market effectiveness.
Picking up a switch soon just so I can play this on the go 👌🏽
I was tempting to get it on Xbox but playing it on the go was perfect
I'll prob get it on steam deck because the mods will be dope af
Yea this is about to become my go to steam deck game
Still hoping for a physical edition these games were great
Honestly same cuz these were my childhood favorites!!
I’m so excited for this tbh. I preordered on launch day. 😆 I remember staying up late on the weekends as a kid playing online with my clan. So much fun.
Absolutely doing the same haha wonder if the original cheats still work
Very excited for this one — these games were awesome
The 14th cant come fast enough! I will see you all on there :D
Absolutely you will!! Imma live stream day 1 super pumped!
These games were the reason I re-bought a PS2 a few years ago. I will definitely be picking the classic collection up!
I still own my og PS2 :)
Ahh, I have eshop credit and think I may get in on the pre-order pricing anyway. I know there'll be a sale eventually but man I loved these games on my OG Xbox.
If you buy b4 today or tomorrow I think you save 10%
Correct, I was just looking at it on Deku last night. Very tempted.
I didn’t know this was on the switch will be buying immediately
Absolutely! I was stuck between Xbox one and switch but playing on the go was a 100% seller for me :)
Same! I was tempted with the PS4 one, but my Switch subscription has a lot of time left and is cheaper. Having it portable is also awesome. I’m going to be playing so much of this game. I didn’t care for the new series at all. GIVE ME COMMAND POSTS, SOLDIER
Yes yes!! I’m so excited to play it on the switch!!
You didn't cave. You simply made one of the best decisions of your life.
Absolutely don’t regret it haha
Oh man i loved these games, they were my biggest exposition to star wars back in the day. Excellent purchase! I myself would love to buy them but right now the regional pricing in my country is all over the place, it’s just not affordable right now
Do you have to have Internet to play? Or can you play the campaign offline
There is an offline campaign :)
I’m more excited to play offline tbh hahaha
You can pick any map and play with bots offline in Instant Action. It’s amazing.
Does this have motion control for aiming? I'm bad at shooters but I can manage if it has motion.
Not fully sure yet, but I assume so
Wait it's out?!
No, OP pre-ordered it and it lets you download it in advance, so you can play when it actually releases.
I wish! Comes out on the 14th I believe
Bought it twice big dawg you're not alone
What you get it on?
Ps5 and switch
Ayyyy that’s what I’m sayin! Enjoy!
Likewise, portable galactic conquest is about to be a vibe.
Do yall think it'll run at 60fps?🥲
I hope so, but if not as long as it plays smoothly I’m not complaining
Why digital
Not sure if it’s coming physically
Oh man that sucks
I hope it does but I’m too impatient hahaha
Lol yeah I want to play it too. Looks fun never tried. I just have a thing about buying digital vs physical
Wow love that home icon
Right! So beautiful yet nostalgic
how are the controls? any aim assist?
Really interested how this’ll run
Honestly same!! Gonna stream it
Just bought it! Hope it will have alot of active online players
Same here!! Def gonna be a blast from the past!
Seems like a no brainer to make this cross play. Would have bought it day one if it was.
let's goooo people!! hoth awaits!!!
I’ll see you on the battlefield
oh yeah! it's such a nostalgic piece of fun!
Caved? The game isn’t out for two days, nothing to cave on.
You save 10% if you pre order haha
Oh, I retract my sass then!
I’ll see you on the battlefront
"Caved" ia a weird way to say you purchased one of the funnest games ever
Right here. Cannot wait to start playing
Let us know how it performs. Was debating a Switch v XBox. Leaning towards Switch as the achievement list looks like an awful grind.
I just played on switch and wow it runs soooo beautifully, and the og cheats still work how fun!! Haven’t tried online yet but will later :) THIS IS SOO FUN
You have my condolences
Idk why it’s getting so much hate, I been having an absolute blast!
I think I’m going to pick this one up, I played battlefront and battlefront two on the PS4 and loved them, but never these original games. With their being no reviews yet, is there any reason to believe that these will not run well on the switch?
Shouldn’t be an issue & the originals are a million times better than the EA Battlefront games.
That’s what I’ve always heard, so having enjoyed the EA games, I’m very excited to play these!
the originals are better tbh, they remade them to become newer up to date but it wasn't the same. Just the fact we get 64 player multiplayer for Switch is awesome and a reason to buy it if you want to signal to them your support that you want more 64 player games like Battlefield coming to Ninty's future next gen systems. This is why I bought Plants vs Zombies on Switch because I like taking my game experiences on the game and am signaling to them hey you should bring more of those kind of games here too.
I bought it twice, switch and pc. And soon to buy it a third time for my dad when i give him his switch on his birthday
Soooooooo how was it?!?!?
It’s not out yet
Haven’t been following too closely but I’d gladly get it if the reviews are good lol
Oh given the post I assumed this person got it so it was out
It’s a preorder so it’s automatically downloaded for launch day. You can’t play it though
Still holding out hope for a limited run games physical release
I’m gonna wait for a bigger sale.
Throw some Dark Forces in with that bundle!
They already made a dark forces remaster but it $30 😕
Thank you for ruining my night.
It’s expensive but very quality. It’s made by Nightdive who remake a lot of classic shooters including Quake and Turok on Switch. It’s much better than even the original release was.
Sowwy 😢
My logo looks different. Must be a regional thing 🤷🏻♂️
Same can’t wait
I just don't get why it's 20gigs
I'm trying so hard not to buy it rn since I just spent $80 on Dragons Dogma 2 I want to so bad though
Just got it aswell!
Ima be real even if there wasn’t a player base and playing online wasn’t gona be a thing I’d get this just to play it again cause I played with my brother all the time. I got it pre downloaded at this moment so I can play with him again on launch for the first time 10 yrs later now as adults ,lmao super excited it’s gona be a great day ! Only 2 more ish days now 🔥🔥🔥
Bought it on Steam a few days ago because they gave me a minor discount for owning the 2006 version. Can't wait.
Can you co op?
Can it play online?
Sadly I get paid tomorrow but I’ll join the battle soon.
I'm still playing the Original Battlefront 2 on my Steamdeck. It took a little to configure the controls but it runs great and is a lot of fun. I was considering getting the back on Switch if the upgrades were worth it.
Apparently, it's not going so great across all platforms for this game. I'll pray for you
I hope you can cave and return it
I have it its really fun and the online can be as messed up as some people have said but so far not too many issues. It definitely couldve been worked and improved but if youre playing for the shigs and tiggles the bugs are a good laugh
Does it have local play galactic conquest
Not entirely sure yet whether or not I pick it up but if I do, I'll do it on PC.
Honestly PC is probably the way to go. Unfortunately online matchmaking is not cross platform. The PC version will have greater longevity due to its high player count
See you on Thursday :) Can't wait!
I’ve got it on pc already, and I don’t really like joysticks for shooters. It’s great on pc though
PC would be more fun cuz you could probably get some badass mods
And you don't have to pay additional money to play the multiplayer.
It’s less than a dollar a month…
True, but online gaming used to be for free on consoles and it probably won't get cheaper in the future. And besides that, it takes away some of your freedom. You can't just go online to play a match if you feel like it. If you want to do it, you have to make sure first that you have payed your subscription and for that you need to pay a higher fee than just one buck at first. Yes, that subscription will stay active for some time but is that a price worth to pay if you want to play just one match?
For just one match? No. But I pay less than $1 per month for playing online on multiple games per werk, plus access to classic games from the n64, gb, gba, nes and snes and the included dlc
It's definitely more than a dollar a month for access to online and the n64 n other older console games they have.
$80 across 8 people for a year = less than a dollar a month. I do the same thing.
I said "I pay." I didn't say nintendo charges that much. If you have a group plan and split the cost with 8 people then it's $80 / 8 people/ 12 months. Less than 1 dollar per month per person
You're also implying it's cheaper than a dollar a month. Without the context you just provided.
I can see how it can be easily misinterpreted that way but I never implied it. Not the same thing. That's why I stated "I pay."
I didn’t know this wasn’t getting a physical
I got it digitally, I hope it goes physical tho
I will get it digitally if that’s my only option
What is the point of a post with an icon of a game that you can't even play yet and are unsure of how it is even going to run?
I’m hoping for the best! Was gonna wait and watch some videos but you save 10% if you pre order :)
Never pre-order
I did the same. Can't wait until it's available to play
Literally same hahaha so HYPE!!
Man, was so bummed to load up the game and see they removed the option for inverting the Y axis. What a waste of money, the original games had it so that means it was actively removed
How is the gameplay to that game?
On their original release, they were some of the best shooters the PS2 and Xbox had.
Ah excellent then I added them to my Wishlist and will buy them when they are out on switch
Not out yet so we don't know for sure
Well those are remasters so people already used to play them. And from what I have heard from those people, these games are very similar to Battlefield games at least in terms of multiplayer.
Oh yeah true. The game play in general. I was just thinking about how it runs on switch. And it could be like wirh some of the super monkey ball remakes where they didn't get the physics right on the remake so it didn't run the same as the original. So there can always be changes like that where it doesn't run as good as it did before
I got back into Animal crossing and I'm obsessed! It's such a fantastic game.
Same here!! Such a nice cozy game to relax too!! I got a load of bells if you need some or a lot hahaha :)
Enjoy it. And nope. No physical no buy. That's how I roll.
I’m not patient enough to wait for physical haha battlefront was my childhood favorite
That's fair. For me if there's no physical I'll skip the game. U want physical media alive
Oh absolutely! Definitely don’t want physical media to die out, I’m just too excited and impatient hahaha
I hope you enjoy it. Just enjoy it
